My Accounts question

What's the difference between these two facebook icons. I do have the facebook app installed. I don't want it to sync with my contacts tho.

I'd also like the answer. I think the one on the left is the Blur Facebook option, but when I click on the one on the right, it doesn't do anything. At all.

I can't even get the facebook account (made by the facebook app) to allow me to log in. I wish it would though. As a google voice user all the facebook and twitter moto blur breaks contact pictures for everything but moto apps

I dont know why you have two options for FB, but it's suppose to be for your social networking for moto blur, and you can opt out of the FB contact sync.

why are there two facebook applications?

Why are there two facebook applications on the mytouch 4G? One is called just facebook and one is called facebook for mytouch? When I upload pictures I can use both programs with different interfaces for uploading. Only facebook for mytouch is syncing my contacts.

The Facebook for myTouch is the one built into the phone. The that just says Facebook is the Facebook independent application that you downloaded from the marked. You don't need the Facebook app from the market for most things. So, if you want to make your send-to list look cleaner then you can unstall your downloaded Facebook app.
Out of the box the phone only has "Facebook for myTouch" and the fb integration is used to read and update statuses (friend stream, built in account sync, etc).
Hope that helps.

Thank you. That helped a lot. Just one question regarding updates. How is the facebook for mytouch application updated when not through the market?

How do you do status updates and stuff from the integrated one?

I deinstalled the facebook application and left only the facebook for mytouch application on the phone. You can do only status updates etc over the friends stream widget I guess. That is stupid. I reinstalled the facebook application again because I never use the friend stream widget anyway. I will remove the facebook for mytouch account for syncing and add the normal facebook account (edit: just found out you cannot add the facebook account for syncing). I don't know why HTC implemented so many redundant functions...peep and twitter, cannot use picasa in the gallery anymore either because they integrated flickr...at least they should give us the choice.

Ya that's why I can't wait till cm6.1 gets stable for this phone.i came from a g2 on rc3 lol

Solcial Networking widget crashes with facebook

Hey guys
I have the social networking widget for Twitter and Facebook.
Since this morning the facebook part refuses to work.
I used to have them both in one widget but to be sure I added 2 seperate widgets, 1 for Twitter and 1 for Facebook.
When I tap on the Facebook one it brings up all the statuses so I can browse through them. But as soon as I do I get the following error:
The application Social Networking (process com.motorola.friendfeed) has stopped working unexpectedly.
Please try again.
The widget for twitter works just fine, so it's only for facebook.
Dos anyone have any idea or suggestions?

I just got this on my atrix, did you find a resolution?

seems that nobody has the answer. nobody here knows, and motorola support doesn't know, facebook isn't replying!

Yeah sorry I did not get an answer anywhere. I just stopped using it alltogether.
I don't even have the widget anymore on cm7.
I don't really know who developes the app either so no idea where to go
